All this protein is expensive

ianakers Posts: 127 Joined: 2005/02/06	2005/04/16, 04:56 PM I'm trying to get a lot of protein from foods but its really expensive and can be fattening. I eat lean meats but even leans meats are only so lean. Some of the tastier leaner meats are also expensive. I love chicken breast and its good for you but unless you get the crappy process/fried frozen kind it's expensive. I've looked at the list of foods for a bodybuilder but doesn anyone have any other suggestions?

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/04/16, 08:46 PM Tuna is a great idea. 35 grams of protein per can. You can also try a meal replacement bar or powder. That will only take up one meal a day though. Don't use this throughout the entire day. As you most likely know, food is a much better source of protein than the powders and bars. the dominator. What do you mean you can buy it like paper clips? Do you mean that you can just buy a crap load? DX
